You and I both know how Orthodox Jews believe that G-d made Himself
known. What you're trying to do is drag me back into that tiresome
argument re: exactly what constitutes the Torah.

Nice try, Mr Mikey, but I'm not biting.

I have no problem with Orthodox Judaism and its adherence to the
principle of matrilineal descent - a principle which, as you rightly
pointed out, was deduced from interpretations of certain verses in the
Torah.

However, if you *still* insist on dismissing me as an anti-Semite in
order to cover any insecurities that *you* regarding the issue, be my
guest.
